me say that we are not mere ma
chimes, hut free, moral, responsible
agents. Every human being is an
active architect in the formation of
his own character. 1t Is not Gods
work, but yours to repent of sin,
accept Christ and live in obedience
To the laws of Nature and the pre-
cepts of Religion. You must do
this for yourself. No other person
can act Tor you. Intemperance,

In the words OF Paui's valetlictory
salutation and advice would say:
BE p' rfect. Strive after COM
plete holiness of character. But
holiness /, not austeri,y, hardness
Of manner, a long face, solemn
tone and ass med .ancti'y. On til,

thing from keen appreciation ofthr
sublime in Nature; different from
refined taste whereby sius ITS roarser

10 remember that sentiment is not
faith and delicate refinement is not
practical holiness. BE perfect! Let
every Christian grace and virtue ad
vance towards maturity. If any
defects ,emain, FL tn, m up. Eve
aspire AMI labor after hi cher attain
hents. The things that are amiss
in you reform and rec ify. If you
have declined in reli. ion, recover
tile ground you have lost and restore
what is decaying. Strengthen the
things that remain. Receive all the
spiritual good you can from what
ever source it may be obtained. To
my young friends. who have pro-
fessed Christ during my ministry here
would say, Always remain loyal 10
your vows and to your Christian
profession. Having put your hand
10 the plough, do not look back but
forward, and let your lives be full of
usefulness for the Lord who has
loved and redeemed you.
